Working wet dough
I have some dough sitting waiting for me to knead it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to get big holes, or at least bigger than I have been getting, the dough needs to be wet. I have this issue every time. It's really sticky. How do I knead it without having sticky fingers? EVERY time, it starts out wet, but I end up adding flour to stop it from sticking. The bread turns out good....I've been posting pics, but I don't get big holes. I've read about folding after the rise, but what about the initial knead? Jim wrote to let the dough rest after mixing, before kneading. Mine has been resting for an hour. Hopefully, someone will respond soon. If not, I'll use what I learn next time. ;-D
